made. Mr.. Clark personally knows MT. bar
rinoton (ths name is misspelled in the above
dispatch), Mr.. Darlington having been in Mr..
Clark's employ at the Arizona Queen mine
working as boss teamster there for several
years Mr.. Darlington went to Arizona a
number of years ago for his health, which
had been poor. and in due time located seve-
raj claims, among them the very claim
which now promises to prove a veri-
s,l PorripnfoH
and his partner, Mr.. Harland, are both we'll
versed in mining and no doubt will work the
mine for all it is worth. Mr.. Clark's advices
direct from the mine confirm the most roseate
reports as to the richness OF the ind and Its
promise of more. 1t is in fact, said MI. u,
the richest find of gold ever known in the
annals of gold mining on the American con-
gold mining in California, when all eyes
were turned to that western Ell Dorado. The
report does not equal the vivid picture OF the
richness of gold that Sir Walter Raleigh sent
home to the English government regarding
British Guiana picture which was never
realized. Mr.. Barringtons claim where the
gold was found had, as stated, been located
by him for several years and all he had done
upon it was assessment work-that is, work
sufficient each year to enable him to main
tain his legal hold upon the claim. The
modus operandl ls this: A man locates his
claim; 1t cannot be IN size over l,5oo<6ot
feet, but can be less IN amount
He must IN locating his claim set up a
monument of stones to open 1t. After the
first year he must do $1O0 worth OF work, II
he does not he forfeits it. What the law
calls 500 worth OF work IS twenty days OF
actual labor upon 1t. The law allows 81 az
the value OF days work, and the other $2t
OF the SlOO are spent IN powder ana othe1
materials. Darlington and his partner had
duly performed the assessment WORK IN
monotonous fashion, finding little to reward
them until their big ind was struck. From
